* Game 8, Round 7 - Science - Fermentation
In the context of food, fermentation is the conversion of
carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids by microorganisms
(yeasts or bacteria) under anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions.
Fermentation is one of the oldest methods of food preservation,
dating to the Neolithic era. So, we've brewed up some questions...

breakfast food in Japan. Westerners often consider it an

vegetarians elsewhere. Name it.
6. Which traditional Korean food is made from salted and fermented
vegetables, often napa cabbage or radish, although hundreds of
